Water. In NV and AZ, where its most prized. Additionally they've been trying to make inroads into CA. I also appreciate the security and diversification that their insurance businesses bring to the stock.

The focus on increasing book value per share appeals to me and is backed up by their linking of it to exec compensation. I've read some of the other Fools and the articles drawing a comparison to early Buffett style management. Sometimes, its nice to hope that maybe, just maybe, that comparison will win out over the long term.
